Sylvester Posted February 27, 2012 #476 Posted February 27, 2012 Good thing it missed the garage site, or it would be next winter and Dan would be looking for a concrete contractor.
FROG MAN Posted February 27, 2012 #477 Posted February 27, 2012 I could use some of that wood down at the camp. I got a 4x7 trailer and a tow hitch on the First Gen.
Yammer Dan Posted February 27, 2012 Author #478 Posted February 27, 2012 We could load it up. Chain saw crapped out on me. Having fun getting it cut up.
Venturous Randy Posted February 27, 2012 #479 Posted February 27, 2012 Hey Dan, is there any prize for being the 500th poster on this thread? RandyA
Yammer Dan Posted February 29, 2012 Author #480 Posted February 29, 2012 A cord of Sycamore firewood. You come and cut up!!
Yammer Dan Posted March 2, 2012 Author #481 Posted March 2, 2012 Guess nobody fell for that one. Need to find a trash can for that saw!!
Flyinfool Posted March 4, 2012 #483 Posted March 4, 2012 News??? This thread is 3/4 of a year old already...........
XV1100SE Posted March 4, 2012 #484 Posted March 4, 2012 News??? This thread is 3/4 of a year old already........... Yes.... but not much has changed since it began ! So, any change will be "breaking news"! Might even make CNN.... for days and days and days and days .... Reminds me of a play "Much ado about Nothing". If work does begin, it will be a movie (Monty Python) "And now for Something Completely Different".
Yammer Dan Posted March 5, 2012 Author #485 Posted March 5, 2012 Well it is Spring and I had a Contractor with a fairly good rep around here claiming he would show this morning and give me estimate. Pouring White Crap down and ain't seen him!! I shouldn't be surprised....
Dano Posted March 5, 2012 #486 Posted March 5, 2012 You got what came thru here awhile ago. We've only got a 1/4" here and it'll be gone this afternoon.
Yammer Dan Posted March 5, 2012 Author #487 Posted March 5, 2012 We got couple inches. I'm hoping thats why he is not here yet. I WILL HAVE A GARAGE THIS SPRING!!!
Flyinfool Posted March 5, 2012 #488 Posted March 5, 2012 Your best bet might just be a pile of lumber, a place to park a bunch of bikes, and a pile of nicely browned flesh.
Yammer Dan Posted March 5, 2012 Author #489 Posted March 5, 2012 Your best bet might just be a pile of lumber, a place to park a bunch of bikes, and a pile of nicely browned flesh. I've thoughtof that. Getting a concrete pad to put it on is my biggest holdup. I can build it!! I've built houses. Haven't really made up mind which way to go Metal,Wood, Block?? But need pad to sit it on. I will get it if I have to pour it myself this spring. (In that case I could set time for concrete to arrive and beg for help)I've thought a lot about the metal buildings they are selling so many of right now. I could build stick (wood) by myself slowly or do block walls and build roof. Just got to get something to start it on!! He still ain't here and its snowing again!!!:bang head::bang head:
Venturous Randy Posted March 5, 2012 #490 Posted March 5, 2012 As they say, "You snooze, you loose". I took a nap and missed being the 500th post on this thread. RandyA:confused24:
Yammer Dan Posted March 5, 2012 Author #491 Posted March 5, 2012 Looks like I won that wood myself!! I can't get out of cutting it up!!:bang head:
Yammer Dan Posted March 6, 2012 Author #492 Posted March 6, 2012 He didn't show because of snow. Right? And I'll win powerball this week and just buy a place with garage....
Marcarl Posted March 6, 2012 #494 Posted March 6, 2012 He might show up, but then he probably had something else planned for today, so it might have to wait until tomorrow.
Flyinfool Posted March 6, 2012 #495 Posted March 6, 2012 I still find the whole contractor thing out by you baffling. Around here if word gets out you need a job done, the contractors will be lined up at the front door and down the street, maybe even fighting with each other for a better place in line, waiting for their chance to give a quote.

Maybe I ought to move!! Crackheads around here don't want to work. The one that was supposed to show yesterday is one of the better ones that was too busy last year. Didn't show today. Got me puzzled too.
barend Posted March 6, 2012 #497 Posted March 6, 2012 Been around 25 year ssinc ewe (ex and mostly I) built a garage. I did the prep work with a rented loader, bought a couple truck loads of gravel fill, and build the frame for the pad. Hired a guy who did concrete on the side and had me a pad. Prefab walls and a get together to put her up including trusses. Did the roof sheeting and siding myself but hired a roofer to do the shingles. If'n I didn't have a 12-12 roof would have done that myself too. You can do it, if it comes to it Dan!
Yammer Dan Posted March 6, 2012 Author #498 Posted March 6, 2012 I used to build houses. Garage not a problem. Leg and getting up and down is.
Eck Posted March 6, 2012 #499 Posted March 6, 2012 Hang in there Dan....it will all work out.. Hey Skid.. Eat your heart out... and still dont have enough room...(I wish)
